Chapter 644 Throwing them into the sea to feed the fish

However, who would have thought!

They had just walked a few dozen steps when suddenly, several sacks fell from the sky!

The dock manager and the fishermen rushed up and knocked them down, and then took the smelly large sacks and tied these men tightly.

"You, what are you doing!"

"Let us go!"

The men were obviously confused. By the time they realized that they were cheated, the sacks had been tied with thumb-thick hemp ropes. No matter how they twisted like caterpillars, they couldn't get rid of them.

The dock manager put the big silver ingots in his pocket, turned around and said, "They caught the nobles."

Xiao Nuobao smiled, stepped forward and stepped on one of the sacks, and stomped his feet angrily.

"Well done!"

"You still dare to play the tracking game? You don't even see who you are following!"

"Tell me quickly, who sent you here? Otherwise, your life will be in danger, and I will send you to see King Yan on the spot~" The little fat girl threatened with her hands on her hips.

Old lady Xiao and Feng Miao also hurried over.

I have to say that the idea that the little guy came up with is really useful, and he caught the people!

Just now, when the three of them arrived at the dock, they found the manager here, gave him silver, and asked him to help catch these trackers.

After giving them thirty taels of silver ingots, the manager's eyes lit up immediately.

Looking at the clothes of the three people in front of him, he knew that they must be from important backgrounds, so of course he agreed readily.

So, they pretended to talk. They were

just waiting for those men to take the bait.

At this moment, the guys in the sacks realized that they had been tricked. They were very angry and cursed.

"Let me go, or you will be in trouble!"

"No one assigned us, we just saw that you have money and wanted to rob you, so what?"

Xiao Nuobao crossed his arms, his cheeks puffed up like two "meatballs".

"Humph, you won't cry until you see the coffin, right? Well, then I'll grant your wish! "

Having said that, the young fellow flicked his fat paw, took out another ten taels of silver and handed it to the dock manager.

The manager's face lit up and he immediately understood what to do.

He showed a fierce look and kicked the sack twice, "Come on, tie them to big stones and throw them into the sea to feed the fish."

"Some big fish in our sea are longer than humans. They can bite through the sack in three or two bites. Even with just these few people, they are not enough to fill their teeth with those fish. I guarantee that they will be eaten up in a few days! "The manager snorted sinisterly.

The men in the sacks heard it.

Not even the food crumbs were left?

Doesn't that mean they were dead without a body and no evidence??

When most of their bodies were submerged in the sea, they realized they were scared and shouted for mercy at the top of their lungs. Two of them even peed yellow water.

"I'll tell you everything!"

"Please let us go, I have an 80-year-old mother at home..."

Little Nuobao rolled her eyes.

How did she find that there were so many "80-year-old mothers" of the evil people? This begging for mercy was too old-fashioned.

The little fat girl waved her hand, "Then tell me quickly! "

The manager brought a few fishermen and kicked back a few wet sacks.

This time, those men really didn't dare to play tricks and told everything.

"We are just some retired thieves. In order to make a living, we take some dirty jobs everywhere."

"The man who ordered us to come this time is called Brother Quan. He told us to follow you and see where you are going and what kind of business you want to do. The more information we bring back, the more money he will give you..."

"We just want to make some money running errands, wuwu, we have no grudges against you..."

Feng Miao frowned and asked, "Brother Quan? What's your full name? What does he look like? Where are you from? "

We have only met him three or four times. He only asked us to call him Brother Quan. He always wore a black hood, was of medium build, and was in his thirties... We really don't know anything else." A man shuddered.

They were indeed just errand boys. They

didn't even know that behind A Quan, there was a Xiao Yi.

Xiao Nuobao wrote down the two words "Brother Quan" and knew that he couldn't get anything else out of him, so he planned to investigate further after returning to Beijing.

As for the treatment of these people, they were not good people to begin with, so of course they could not be let off lightly this time.

"These people don't have to go back to Beijing." Xiao Nuobao looked at the manager of the dock, "Just let them work as fishermen here for three or two months, and that will be considered atonement for their previous evil deeds! "

At this time, Jiang Fengmiao touched his chest and sighed, "I'm afraid that this time, someone wants to steal our family's business secrets, so they sent these people here."

But who could it be?

He couldn't guess.

However, the Jiang family is well-known in Beijing, and even those who have no grudges against his family may do this.

"Okay, don't think about it." Old Mrs. Xiao was afraid that the two children were tired, so she touched their heads one by one to comfort them, "Grandma Xiao will take you to the inn to rest first, and then I will go to find the Nanyang merchants. This time, thanks to Nuobao for discovering it in time. "

Feng Miao felt even more fortunate and he was just about to kowtow to his sister.

Before leaving the house, he even said that something might go wrong on the way. Unexpectedly, his words came true. Fortunately, he brought Nuobao with him!

"Wow, my dear sister, Fifth Brother will not talk nonsense anymore. "Feng Miao held her sister's hand and got on the carriage.

Fortunately, although there were some minor incidents, everything went smoothly afterwards.

When they entered the inn, the Nanyang merchants had not left yet, waiting for Old Lady Xiao to come again.

Old Lady Xiao was not vague either. She ordered a pot of the best Yuqian Longjing tea and a table of delicacies, and then handed over the samples one by one, and talked about business while eating at the table.

After opening the boxes one by one, the eyes of several merchants gradually changed from satisfaction to ecstasy.

Obviously, the quality of these things was much better than they had originally expected.

They couldn't hide their emotions at all and kept nodding their heads.

Among them, the only merchant who could speak Nanyang dialect held up a jujube wood dressing box inlaid with turquoise and exclaimed in a lame accent, "This is really amazing! It's so amazing! We want to order a thousand!"

Amazing?

Old Mrs. Xiao held back her laughter, "You mean surprise, right?"

"Yes, I'm shocked, really shocked!" The Nanyang merchant's eyes were shining, but his pronunciation was still not standard.

Old Mrs. Xiao understood, and she didn't correct him any more. She smiled and took out the draft contract.

"Don't worry, our bulk goods will definitely be of this quality. We guarantee that you will be even more surprised and delighted. Anyway, we guarantee that you will be satisfied!"

At this time, Xiao Nuobao, who was staying in the house, couldn't sit still, so she pulled her fifth brother and sneaked to the door of the private room to peek.

The two children bent over and saw through the crack of the door that the foreign merchants inside were constantly pressing their fingerprints on the contract paper.

They all had wheat-colored faces and were short in stature, so they didn't look strange.

Xiao Nuobao held his finger in his mouth, "Fifth brother, how come they are foreigners, but they don't have red hair like Jia Ju? Instead, they look quite similar to us."

Feng Miao whispered, "That's normal. You haven't been to the frontier. It's like a big mixed bag there, with all kinds of people. There are red-haired foreigners like Jia Ju, and there are weirdos with blond hair and blue eyes. I've seen a few short black-haired ones like the one in the box. I guess it's because of different blood relations."

The little fat girl nodded her head.

At this time, she glanced and saw that there was a little girl under the table in the box.

The little girl was about five years old, with a dark face like a skinny monkey. She should be the daughter of a Nanyang merchant. She was grinning, tying the trouser legs of two Nanyang people together, and then covering her mouth with her hands and laughing.

But soon, the girl also saw Nuobao.

She quickly put her finger in front of her mouth and blinked, as if begging Nuobao not to make a sound.

Little Nuobao waved his little hand at her, squeezing his eyes mischievously, with an expression of a fellow traveler, and of course he would not expose the other's mischievous behavior.

The two little girls, one outside the door and the other under the table, smiled knowingly.

Assuming that the business was almost over, Little Nuobao took Fengmiao back to the house and waited for Grandma Xiao to come back.

Not long after, the door creaked open, and Grandma Xiao was holding the deed paper, and she felt like she was stepping on cotton when she walked.

"My dear, my little apprentice, guess what?"

"We have officially accepted this business!"

"They are satisfied with it, and the deposit has increased by another 10,000 taels!"

Old Mrs. Xiao was very happy, but she kept her excitement under control, so she didn't shout out loud.

Little Nuobao cried out, and with his little fat body, he flew to Old Mrs. Xiao, "That's great, Grandma Xiao, let's go back and work hard, and make a lot of money."

Feng Miao was so happy that he raised his arms and shouted.

"Haha, there is another treasure pot in the family, and we will be busy in the future!"

According to the order from the Nanyang people, all the goods needed together, there are all kinds of things, there can be 10,000 pieces.

A total of 100,000 taels of goods.

This amount of money is not too much or too little, but it means that the sales in Nanyang have been opened, and the future is just around the corner.

At present, the big thing has been decided.

Next, of course, it was time to combine work and rest and have a good two days in Bohai City!

Little Nuobao could hardly wait to eat the seafood all over the place.

Seeing her smacking her lips, Grandma Xiao smiled and pinched her cheeks, "Your saliva is almost flowing like a river, let's go to the beach to eat some in the afternoon, otherwise, when you go to bed at night, Grandma Xiao is afraid that your saliva will wash it away." So

, the three of them changed into light clothes, leaving the old groom to take a nap in the inn, and set off towards the "sea market" in Bohai City.

The so-called sea market is also one of the characteristics of Bohai City.

After the beginning of summer, the government put up poles on the beach, hung up colorful flags and lanterns, and let merchants and peddlers do business.

Grilled squid, boiled snails, grilled Spanish mackerel cakes, and sea sausage buns, all of which are delicious foods that cannot be found elsewhere.

As soon as Xiao Nuobao arrived, his eyes suddenly lit up like stars, and his short legs became fast, running to the small stall in front.

"Wow, how much is this?"

Without saying a word, Mrs. Xiao bought two skewers of grilled squid. The chili powder on them was sprinkled evenly, and the two children's mouths were greasy after eating.

The sea market stretched out a long line along the seaside.

The little fat girl was not tired, holding the grilled squid in one hand and half a bowl of spicy snails in the other, and her face was bulging.

It seemed that she was going to eat it from beginning to end!

Moreover, as long as the little guy's eyes lingered for a while, Mrs. Xiao would immediately take out her wallet and buy something.

It was like a child coming home.

However, she was afraid that the fat girl would be too full, so she followed behind and spoiled her, "My dear, if there is anything you don't like to eat, just give it to your fifth brother, and Grandma Xiao will buy you something else."

Little Nuobao kept nodding her head, and then looked at the flesh on her body, and couldn't help but feel more justified.

Mother always says she is fat.

But look, can she be blamed?

Who asked everyone to spoil her? Not a bite of flesh on her body grew in vain, it was all spoiled!

Her favorite here is the sea sausage stuffed buns that she has never seen before.

Although the sea sausage doesn't look good, it tastes like the best seafood, even abalone, shark's fin and bird's nest would not be exchanged.

But then again, although she only eats a few bites, her small belly has limited capacity, and it is soon filled up.

Little Nuobao looked up and sighed, then burped something that smelled like sea sausage.

"There are so many delicious foods, I can't finish them all, I can't finish them at all!"

At this time, Feng Miao was holding the roasted shrimps left by his sister, and his hands were not idle either.

He saw which of his sisters ate the most, and he wrote them down, intending to ask his second sister-in-law to teach his sister how to cook after returning.

At this moment, Li Qiqiao, who was far away in the capital, suddenly sneezed at the Jiang Mansion.

"Oh, who is talking about me?"

Feng Shi lowered her head to sew clothes, and laughed, "Maybe it's those two greedy cats who went to Bohai City and missed your cooking skills."

Li Qiqiao was more than happy to do so. To be honest, she couldn't even muster the energy to cook these days when Xiao Nuobao was not at home.

Soon, Xiao Nuobao finished the long tour of the sea market.

Old Mrs. Xiao glanced at the sea. It was getting hot now, and many people were taking a bath in the sea.

Of course, girls and women had no chance to enjoy such a comfortable experience.

There were some men and children in the sea, wearing arm-revealing clothes, sitting in the sea and playing comfortably.

"Nuobao, Fengmiao, do you two want to go take a bath?"

"This is a government-run place. As long as we pay money, we can reserve a quiet place for us. We don't have to squeeze with others, and there is a curtain to cover us." Old Mrs. Xiao said.

Although Nuobao is a little kid, she is a princess with a noble status, so she can't squeeze in with others.

When the little fat girl heard it, she smiled and nodded, "Okay, Grandma Xiao, let's go quickly. After washing and digesting the food, I guess we can still stuff two more big sea sausage buns~"

"You, you just want to eat, and you're not afraid that your stomach will swell like a ball." Grandma Xiao smiled, took out her purse, and prepared to go forward.

There is a large area near the sea rocks by the sea, which requires money and is a separate place covered by curtains.

As long as the curtain is blocked, people on the left and right can no longer see it.

And the sound of the waves is very loud, even if you talk inside, even if you shout, no one will hear it!

Xiao Nuobao took off her cloth shoes, stepped barefoot on the warm beach, and followed Grandma Xiao to choose a location.

However, at this moment, a breath of death suddenly passed by.

Huh?

Xiao Nuobao took a glance and was attracted.

She ran a few steps along the breath of death, and suddenly found that the direction where the breath of death was drifting was exactly where a curtain blocked!

There was no adult between the two curtains. At this moment, a dark and thin little girl stretched out her arms and struggled on the water.

Xiao Nuobao's eyes were startled, and she shouted hurriedly.

"Grandma Xiao, look, it seems that someone is drowning!"
